Description Jan Pazdziora 2017-11-01 10:18:13 EDT
Description of problem:

When docker is started, it likely does something to chronyd which leads to chrony-helper invocation. That produces AVC denials.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

docker-1.12.6-61.git85d7426.el7.x86_64
chrony-3.2-1.el7.x86_64
selinux-policy-3.13.1-175.el7.noarch

How reproducible:

Deterministic.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install docker from Extras.
2. systemctl start docker
3. Check audit.log

Actual results:

type=AVC msg=audit(1509545489.744:85): avc:  denied  { execute_no_trans } for  pid=13062 comm="chrony-helper" path="/usr/bin/chronyc" dev="dm-0" ino=283534 scontext=system_u:system_r:chronyd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:chronyc_exec_t:s0 tclass=file

Expected results:

No AVC denial.

Comment 3 Jan Pazdziora 2017-11-01 10:18:38 EDT
I believe this is RHEL version of Fedora bug 1507478.
Comment 5 Jan Pazdziora 2017-11-01 10:19:42 EDT
On RHEL 7.5, I see

# ls -laZ /usr/bin/chronyc
-rwxr-xr-x. root root system_u:object_r:chronyc_exec_t:s0 /usr/bin/chronyc

On RHEL 7.4 with selinux-policy-3.13.1-166.el7_4.5.noarch, there is

# ls -laZ /usr/bin/chronyc
-rwxr-xr-x. root root system_u:object_r:bin_t:s0       /usr/bin/chronyc
Comment 6 Lukas Vrabec 2017-11-01 10:22:55 EDT
Jan, 

You're right. This should be fixed in RHEL-7.5. Adding devel_ack+. 

Thanks,
Lukas.
